Chronic sinusitis—also known as chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS)—is a long-lasting condition defined by nasal congestion, facial pressure, postnasal drip, and headaches that persist for 12 weeks or longer. Unlike a standard cold, CRS stems from persistent inflammation in the sinuses and nasal passages.
But the impact goes far beyond a stuffy nose. Fatigue is one of the most commonly reported symptoms—often misattributed to depression, poor sleep, or chronic fatigue syndrome. Ongoing sinus inflammation can also disrupt sleep, drain your energy, and even alter your voice, affecting confidence and daily functioning.
In more advanced cases, chronic sinusitis can lead to serious complications like asthma or chronic respiratory issues. That’s because the upper and lower airways are connected, and inflammation in the sinuses can spill over into the lungs. In fact, many adults diagnosed with asthma later in life first show signs of untreated CRS.
The good news? Addressing sinusitis early can dramatically improve your breathing, sleep, energy levels, and even reduce the risk of developing asthma. At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we’re here to help you reclaim your health—starting with the sinuses.
At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we recognize that chronic sinusitis isn’t a single condition—it’s a complex spectrum of inflammation-driven diseases. What causes sinus symptoms in one person might look entirely different in another. That’s why we take a highly personalized approach, starting with identifying the type of inflammation behind your symptoms.
One common culprit is Type 2 inflammation, which is often connected to allergic conditions like asthma, eczema, and nasal polyps. Pinpointing this allows us to recommend targeted treatments that go beyond symptom relief—offering real, long-term improvement.
To do this, we use a comprehensive diagnostic process that may include:
Once we understand the full picture, we create a customized treatment plan—which may include cutting-edge therapies like monoclonal antibodies—to calm inflammation at its source. Our team combines deep immunology expertise with the latest innovations to help patients of all ages breathe easier, sleep better, and live with fewer symptoms.
If you’re dealing with persistent sinus symptoms, repeat surgeries, or worsening asthma or cough tied to ongoing nasal drainage, it may be time to seek expert care. At Modena Allergy & Asthma, we specialize in helping patients who haven’t found lasting relief through conventional treatments.

Our team is here to uncover the root cause of your symptoms and provide science-backed, personalized solutions. Don’t wait to feel better—schedule your consultation today and take control of your breathing, your health, and your life.
At your first visit to Modena Allergy & Asthma, we begin with a thorough review of your medical history and a conversation about your symptoms. To better understand the root cause of your condition, we may recommend follow-up testing such as allergy skin testing, lab work, CT imaging, or nasal endoscopy. If you’ve already completed any of these tests elsewhere, we’ll coordinate access to your records to streamline the process and avoid unnecessary repeat testing.
Once your results are in, your provider will walk you through a personalized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. For many patients, this includes advanced options like monoclonal antibody therapy, which targets the inflammation driving chronic sinusitis—especially in cases related to Type 2 inflammation from allergies or asthma.
These targeted biologic treatments are designed to block the immune signals that cause swelling, congestion, and drainage, offering long-lasting relief without the side effects of traditional medications. With the right care, you can finally move beyond symptom management and take control of your sinus health.
Advanced treatments for chronic sinusitis—especially monoclonal antibody therapy—can bring transformative results. Many patients notice relief from congestion, sinus pressure, drainage, and headaches within just a few weeks of starting care.
These therapies go beyond masking symptoms. By targeting the underlying inflammation, they deliver lasting improvement and help prevent long-term complications. Patients often experience better sleep, improved energy, and greater ease in daily life. Over time, managing chronic sinusitis effectively can also reduce the risk of developing asthma, frequent infections, or irreversible sinus damage.

Chronic sinusitis often develops from ongoing inflammation due to allergies, nasal polyps, immune system issues, or repeated infections. Environmental irritants and structural problems like a deviated septum can also contribute. Identifying the underlying cause is key to effective long-term treatment.
A typical sinus infection (acute sinusitis) lasts less than four weeks and is often caused by a virus or bacteria. Chronic sinusitis, however, persists for 12 weeks or longer and is usually due to long-standing inflammation rather than infection. Symptoms may be less intense but more persistent.
Yes. Environmental allergies, such as pollen, dust mites, or mold, are common triggers for chronic sinus inflammation. Allergy testing can help pinpoint specific allergens, and treating those allergies can significantly reduce sinus symptoms over time.
While chronic sinusitis is typically a long-term condition, many patients experience complete or near-complete symptom relief with the right combination of treatments—especially when inflammation is targeted with advanced therapies like monoclonal antibodies or allergy immunotherapy.
Not always. Surgery may be recommended for patients with severe structural issues or nasal polyps that don’t respond to medication. However, many patients can avoid surgery through modern treatments that target inflammation at the source.
